Why would cleaning the Throttle Body have this affect? When is the last time you changed your plugs.. What are your mods and also, what happened right before it started doing this... WOT pulls? Talk to me :P

are you able any ammount of normal opperation? even for 10 seconds? or as soon as you turn the key it faults?
reason being if its a fuse it would automatically blow the code. if it isnt it would request and wait for a response from the sensors b4 the code pops.
i highly doubt its a fuse. but if you think it might be then flip oen the engine bay fuse box and look at the map. use your judgment on what those may be on and replace it.

you wont notice when the MAF is dirty.
i would just cover all the bases.... clean the MAF, make sure the pins are not loose inside the coupler, same for the TB. other then that i would buy a new TB
and what do you mean with it cant be the TB because you cleaned it.... ive only ever cleaned the hard parts. Are you saying you opened the circuit side? if so what did you use to clean it with. and why

I had similar stuff happen to me, I took it to the dealer because I was still under warranty and they replaced my BARO sensor, and since then, my car has only done it a few times and its random since.
Somewhere between the MAF, BARO and O2 censors my A/F gets messed up and then it goes into limp mode until I can erase the code. I finally just bought a code scanner/eraser.

I'm not sure, but alot of other guys on here are say so. I've never taken my TB apart and cleaned it yet, I'll take a looksy at mine when I get it back from the dealer. I'm getting new synchros put in my trans now, and the parts are back ordered. About two weeks without my car right now, and I'm sad.
